A study was made of psychological personality traits and their relationship with hormonal-lipid interrelations in patients with different types of obesity. The MMPI methods, modified by F. B. Berezin, were employed. A group of 80 patients was investigated. A significant rise of the level of the 7th and 8th MMPI scales was revealed in patients with hypothalamic obesity (HO) as compared to patients with alimentary constitutional obesity (ACO). This rise could be accounted for by hypercorticism in HO patients and the adaptogenic effect of cortisol. It was also confirmed by the presence of a feedback between cortisol levels and MMPI scales 1, 2, 6. Negative interrelationships between value 0 of the MMPI test scale and the level of basal oxygen metabolism were indicative of the significance of redox processes in social adaptation. ACO women were shown to have a high level of adaptation to stress agents as compared to ACO men. In menopausal ACO women a rise of scales 7 and 8 was observed, a rise of scales 2 and 7--in HO, indicating adaptation failure and proving the adaptation role of estrogens in responses of the body to stress.

: Assessing pain deception is challenging due to its subjective nature. The main goal of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of pain deception using machine learning (ML) analysis with the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) scales, considering accuracy, precision, recall, and f1-score as diagnostic parameters. : This study was a single-blinded, randomized controlled trial.

The clinical-organizational context (where clinical psychology services are provided in the individuals' professional setting) has still been insufficiently approached in research, namely the influence it may have on the response attitudes of individuals undergoing psychological assessment. Our main goal is to find out if, when psychological assessment occurs in the workplace context, patients being assessed present specific response bias that may have implications for the clinical results and correlative decisions. Five hundred and ten adult participants grouped in two samples of ambulatory patients - Clinical-Organizational Sample (COS = 238) and Clinical Sample (CS = 272) - were assessed with the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-RF validity and substantive scales.

Individuals can sway legal, medical, employment, or other decisions by dishonestly self-reporting on psychological tests. Accordingly, the Comprehensive Assessment of Traits relevant to Personality Disorder (CAT-PD) and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-3 (MMPI-3) include validity scales to detect overreporting and underreporting. Although many studies have empirically tested the validity scales of the MMPI-2 and the MMPI-2-RF, fewer have done so with the updated MMPI-3, and none with the CAT-PD.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the diversity of Feeding and Eating Disorders (FED) by examining how different symptoms and personality issues overlap, proposing that current classifications might not fully capture the complexity of these disorders.
- Researchers used Latent Profile Analysis on 109 patients, identifying three distinct profiles: low symptoms with no personality issues, high symptoms without dysfunction, and high symptoms with dysfunctional personality traits.
- Results showed noteworthy differences in BMI, eating disorder severity, and psychiatric diagnoses among these profiles, indicating that the most complex cases suffered the most severe symptoms and related issues, challenging traditional diagnostic categories.
MMPI-3 Assessment of Externalizing Psychopathology in Targeted Community and University Samples.
Assessment
November 2024
University of Otago, New Zealand.
The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-3 (MMPI-3) scales that are designed to assess various forms of externalizing psychopathology have received relatively little research attention to date. The goal of this investigation was therefore to examine the validity of these MMPI-3 scales in the measurement of the externalizing spectrum. A community sample ( = 206) with high levels of externalizing psychopathology and a university sample ( = 645) were used.
